Trust in the Snow (woot!)

I have FINALLY FINISHED Trust in the Snow, a comic written by John Gunningham for the Christian comic anthology Parable 2, edited by Cow and Buffalo's Mike Maihack.

I'm really happy with it, it's taken me over a year. I should be cracking open a bottle of champagne as I write these words.

The main character is a man with a mysterious past and quixotic magical powers. He is compelled to wander, performing great acts of kindness to those that deserve it and teaching or punishing those who do not.

I haven't drawn a fantasy story since my debut in online comics, about nine years ago.

Unfortunately I can't post it on this blog: it hasn't been published yet. The original publishing deal sank due to the recession and we haven't found another publisher who is willing to take on a niche of a niche market publication like Parable yet.

But here are some sample panels:

This project is a lot more touchy-feely than the green-vamp-woman-with-eyeball-hookah picture a bit further down the page. I'm quite happy with the "magic music" effect on the double page spread.

These are the pencils for a story I'm drawing for the anthology Parable 2. (written by John Gunningham, published by Viper Press) I'm really looking forward to drawing this story as I haven't drawn a fantasy story since my debut in online comics, about nine years ago. It's also got quite sparse dialogue. I like that as an artist:)
